There is also a one man wonder effort to improve the sound work of simulated engines by “simply” simulating the flow of air https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J11c8mMN1PA

A literal Bolivian Army Ending

Indeed it has. Also, ground vehicles?!

Descent, Freespace 2, these two games open sourced a long time ago. They’ve been updated by the community over the years, and ascended far beyond where they started.

Do better than I did with Bitcoin (sold it waaaaaay before it became money), Do better with GME etc., idk, probably little things here and there if I can remember them. Try to get the good ending.

ok J.D. Hogg

A much simpler motivation: Money.

Considering Nord (and most VPNs, especially the ones that advertise themselves) are all owned by one company, who has a huge conflict of interest (they’re an ad company) with VPNs to begin with.

Blue light doesn’t damage the eyes unless there is a burning amount of it (or a burning amount of UV), but people with bad eye focus may find it more straining to read things in blue due to the greater light scatter of the color. The solution is wear your reading glasses, I guess.

What really strains the eyes is focusing on close up objects for hours on end. American eye doctors everywhere have the 30/30/30 rule (every 30 minutes, look at something 30ft away for 30 seconds) as a “let your eye muscles relax for a bit” exercise for those of you always working on something up close.

That said, night filters are good just to help with your circadian rhythm, since the brain looks for a persistent abundance of a particular chunk of blue wavelength to determine “daytime”.

Most of them are owned by one company. The only independent ones are Mullvad, Proton, and IVPN. For the most part, you want to Tor and never sign into anything if you are being ultra private about your browsing.

Downside up?

exactly. I’m referring to playing protected content and hardware video decoding.

not the same DRM

Depends on the gpu driver, the distro, and how many hoops you feel like jumping through to enable support.

There shouldn’t be any hoops. This should all be native by now.

Parsec is like Moonlight / Sunshine in that it video streams your desktop for remote access. It is very low latency and lets you even game remotely. I’ve used it to remotely video edit and also test things, mainly to control my beefy desktop from my laptop in a remote location. The difference between Moonlight and Parsec is, Parsec’s 1000x less painful to setup, especially when connecting from across the internet.

The client works fine, but you can’t host a linux system using Parsec.

My largest showstoppers with Linux is the lack of DRM support, the lack of “just works” installs, no Parsec (I’ve tried Moonlight/Sunshine many, many, many times, it never works for me), and … this one little thing …

I would use Linux more if either Virtual Desktop or Steam Link worked in Linux. As it stands, neither work, and current implementations of VR in Linux are still alpha / experimental beyond Index / SteamVR direct tethering, not an option for someone that has a cheap standalone headset.

Chrysler Turbine Car

Very cool vehicle, but apparently turbine engines have really bad city fuel economy

flatpaks are designed for gui apps, and due to packaging dependencies, they are extra heavy in disk space. flatpaks are also most often installed on the user, not systemwide, so no root permissions needed to install.

apt installs systemwide exclusively, but can have a much smaller download size if the dependencies are already installed. Apps sharing dependencies means much less disk space. cli is supported.

Too fast for electric motors. This is basically a pair of jet engines on wheels with a seat attached. The jet thrust is what’s propelling this bad boy.
